2015 Map of Clay

About this map

The Sacramento Co San Joaquin Co border defines the southern extent of this agricultural landscape, where the Sacramento Central Valley transitions through a network of creeks and modern infrastructure. Small settlements like Clay and Herald are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Twin Cities Rd and Clay Station Rd, which segment the terrain into large parcels. A primary engineering feature of the region is the Folsom South Canal, which cuts north-to-south across the drainage of Hadselville Cr and Griffith Cr. The landscape is further characterized by drainage features like Rolling Draw and Windmill Draw, alongside more established waterways such as Dry Creek and Coyote Cr. This survey illustrates the mid-2010s state of land use in the valley, where private aviation at Bottimore Ranch Airport and residential developments like Clay Meadows exist alongside traditional ranching and water management systems.
